Every conversation I have with international colleagues these days

A version of the Padme meme showing a scne from Star Wars - Episode II. Anakin says: "Our lecture period ends on July 24th". Padme, smiling: "July 24th?!? Then your rooms must all have air conditioning!" Anakin just looks at her. Padme, with a skeptical face: "They do have air conditioning, right?"
